Anyone read The Mystery of Shemitah?

    I haven’t read this book, but notice that the author is linked to many Hebraic Roots teaching sites. he is mentioned with some of the HRM teachers such as Jim Staley and others. Unfortunately, we have had some experiences in dealing with the HRM in our church. We have lost two members to this movement! Even with good Biblical counseling, most of these individuals are really steeped into that movement.
